Military Health System to deploy electronic dental record

While at the HIMMS convention this year I was able to see a demonstration on how the system works...a lot of research and development in the software as well...BD

The Military Health System (MHS) is about to deploy a program worldwide through which doctors and dentists can share a common electronic health record.
AHLTA Dental is a component of AHLTA, the military’s EHR system. It will build on the foundation created by the medical component of AHLTA. A single, unified clinical data repository will support medical and dental providers throughout MHS.
AHLTA-Dental will enable dentists to record patient encounters electronically and use graphical charting tools to record a patient’s oral conditions, disease and treatment needs. The application also supports the charting of complete dental treatments, including teeth cleanings and periodontal, endodontic and prosthodontic evaluations and treatments.
